Sun block for irregular shaped windows

We love our Viceroy kit home but there is a big flaw in the design of air flow with all the stationery windows in the living room. The only air flow is through a tiny window in the kitchen and the patio door. Over the years it is extremely hot in the summer particly in July. The kitchen / living room genomes a hot house. A friend of mine recommended poster board, I saw some expensive film and then it dawned on me that the existing wall to wall black out curtains that I ordered extra from Ikea was a perfect material. We measured and cut out the different shapes and attached double sided velcro. Each roll was $17 × 3 along with the 🤦‍♂️ extra material was a bag for my buck, perfect solution. I will be monitoring the room temperatures to see if it helps.

The crew includes:

Barb and her idea and purchasing of products

Chuck with his skillful calculations and design template

Jon our worker bee who didn't really need a ladder

Sam the hostess who prepared lunch and drinks.

And last but not least, Mila our cheerleader.

This photo was taken when the sun was beaming in at 30 degrees

It cut a lot of the heat inside the house.

Record heat temperatures happened this July

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
